Emotional Fatigue From Self-Improvement
Learn why endless optimization creates fatigue.
When Living Feels Dense
When living feels dense, each moment seems to move through thicker air.
Actions require more presence than expected.
Thoughts travel slowly.
This density is not a flaw in motivation or meaning; it is a condition of being.
Naming it helps remove the pressure to move faster than the moment allows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does every small task feel like I’m moving through deep water?
You are experiencing "Dense Living." This is when the "friction" between your internal state and the external world is high. Naming this "density" helps you stop judging your "lack of speed." Moving through water is slower than moving through air—that is a Fact of Physics, not a character flaw. You are simply in a High-Density Environment right now.
Can I "thin out" my life so it feels less dense?
You can reduce Loop Complexity. When living feels dense, finish fewer loops. Focus on the most Contiguous tasks. By narrowing your focus, you reduce the "surface area" of your day that is catching the resistance, making it easier to maintain your Functional Integrity despite the density.
